    EFSC Baseball Team Climbs Into Playoff Showdown: Final Weekend Action Awaits – Space Coast Daily

    EFSC Titans Gear Up for Final Conference Showdown

    In a late‑season scramble to snatch a playoff spot, the Eastern Florida State College baseball squad is heading into their last regular‑season series with the citrus‑blazing curiosity of team fans and players alike. Tied for fourth place in the Citrus Conference, the Titans have the main mission:
    “It’s the first shot at postseason glory since 2017.”

    Home‑Team Prowess & Momentum

    • Five consecutive wins on the road.
    • Nine victories in the last eleven games.
    • Current conference record: 17–13 (tied with SCF‑Manatee).
    • Winning streak vs. rivals helps keep the hype alive.

    Competing for the Play‑In Slot

    • Miami Dade College – 15–15 (chewing the same fourth‑place pencil as the Titans).
    • Seminole State College – also locked in at six.
    • College of Central Florida – 18–12, a single game ahead of the Titans.
    Coach Stadium Says

    Coach Steven Brown is all about the “spirit” drive:

    “Alone, the guys are thrilled to hit the bat because it’s hard at season’s end. The thin line between sweat and injury runs tight, but momentum is the secret sauce. We’re aiming to turn this season’s finish into a regional roar that carries us right into the postseason.”

    So, fire up the fans, stack up the homers, and let the EFSC Titans take the trophy table. It’s not just a game; it’s a hunt, a challenge and a chance to bring that trophy back to campus in style!

    EFSC Titans Set for Final Regular‑Season Games

    Stellar Sluggers Stepping Into the Spotlight

    Freshman Jason Mack is riding a sizzling streak—batting .555 over his last ten games, with a four‑game hit run and a hit in eight of the past ten. He just earned the FCSAA Division I Player of the Week title.

    Sophomore Kevin Smith is a molten spring in Port St. Lucie’s batting lineup, hitting .327 this season and smashing four home runs. He just stole two bases on Saturday, bringing his total to 40 stolen bases—the highest ever for a Titans rookie.

    Pitching Powerhouses Ready to Throw

    Owen Simmons has been the Opening Day starter all season. With a 5‑4 record, a 3.71 ERA, and 69 strikeouts (fifth in the FCSAA), he’s a force to be reckoned with.

    Team work in the bullpen? Michael Benedict is the spry No. 3 option, boasting a 3.19 ERA—fourth in the league. And Head Coach Brown lingo: “All starts with solid pitching, and if a starter’s off, we’ve got left‑ies and right‑ies ready to cover the strike zone.”

    Upcoming Showdowns

    Thursday’s opening game kicks off at 6 p.m. in Miami. The Sunday doubleheader begins at 1 p.m. on Bruce Bochy Field, with free admission and live streaming on the EFSC Titans’ YouTube channel.

  • Instagram is developing a feature that helps users find shared interests

    Instagram is working on a feature called “Picks” that aims to help users find common interests. The Meta-owned social network confirmed to TechCrunch that Picks is an internal prototype and isn’t being tested externally.

    The feature was first spotted by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who often finds unreleased features while they’re still under development.

    According to screenshots shared by Paluzzi, people select their favorite movies, books, TV shows, games, and music, or their “Picks.” Instagram then finds overlaps with friends who chose the same things.

    While Instagram hasn’t shared any details about the feature, the company likely views Picks as a way for users to connect more personally with friends and spark conversations around shared interests.

    Instagram head Adam Mosseri said earlier this year that the social network was going to focus on creativity and connection in 2025. “To help people connect with friends over the things they discover on Instagram, we’re going to double down on messaging, make consuming content more interactive and social, and explore new ways to connect with friends,” Mosseri wrote in a January Instagram post.

    Of course, not everyone will welcome Picks, as it adds yet another feature to an already overcrowded app. Instagram is facing backlash following the launch of Instagram Map, with many users saying they never wanted the feature in the first place.

    As with any other feature in development, it’s not known when or if Instagram plans to officially roll out Picks.

  • NASL: A Revolution in Soccer History

    NASL: A Revolution in Soccer History

    Hey, Soccer Fans—Meet the NASL Legend!

    Picture this: a league that sprouted in 1968, sprinted straight into the hearts of North America, and left a lasting impression that’s still felt in football today. That’s the North American Soccer League, or NASL for short.

    Why the NASL Matters

    Before the NASL kicked off, soccer in the United States and Canada was more of a backyard pastime than a front‑row, professional spectacle. There were hardly any big‑league teams, no televised games, and soccer didn’t quite fit into the mainstream sports culture.

    The NASL changed that. It brought stars like Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, and Pelé (yes, without the extra “P”) to North American stages, creating a surge of interest among casual fans and aspiring young players alike.

    • Key Tourists: Legendary figures to boost visibility.
    • Fan Engagement: High‑energy matches sparked community buzz.
    • Infrastructure Boost: Inspired new stadiums, academies, and league structures.

    Yet, Life Isn’t Perfect—The League Folded

    In the grand sports saga, the NASL’s golden era came to a halt in 1984. Still, its influence is like a lingering aroma from a great barbecue—hard to wash out. It’s paved the way for today’s Major League Soccer (MLS), U.S. Soccer Federation, and countless youth programs.

    Play, Watch, and Bet!

    While you’re soaking up the digital vibes on 1xBet’s online casino, why not dive into the NASL classics? Redeem those historic matches and bet on the drama that once made football a household name in North America.

    Remember: thanks to the NASL, a simple ball and a few players turned into a full‑scale sporting revolution across Canada and the United States. Now, hit the virtual field at 1xBet and let the nostalgia kickstart your next big moment!
